David said he was shocked he was a host when he considers himself more of a guest, and never a good one.

“I’m supposed to say we have a great show tonight but why raise expectations? Why else would we be here?” he said. David went on to riff that he used to be a "poor schmuck" before becoming a "rich prick" and he doesn't have a problem with women dating him because he has money and is on television.

"Why else" would a woman go out with an old, bald man like himself, the 68-year-old joked.

For his first sketch David took us back to his hit HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" but this version was "Bern Your Enthusiasm" where David played Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. He was surrounded by campaign staffer versions of the characters portrayed on "Curb."

In typical David fashion, "Sanders" managed to insult, offend, and annoy everyone he came in contact with by simply being himself. And as always, it came back to haunt him.

This time his actions disenchanted five potential voters, who later cost him the Iowa caucus. He had alienated the family of a supporter in a rope line by refusing to shake her hand after she coughed. "Sanders" lost another vote by refusing to "pop" back in the shoulder of a voter who dislocated it in a car accident.

Other topics that "SNL" delved into were Sen. Ted Cruz's Iowa victory and the Super Bowl.

The show's cold open featured Taran Killam as Cruz talking about how unlikeable he was. At one point he referred to himself as a "nasty little weasel."

With less than 24 hours to go before Super Bowl 50, Killam and Kenan Thompson played NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Cam Newton. For the sketch, the players sang the classic tune "Ebony and Ivory" made popular by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.

One of the story lines leading up to the Super Bowl between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers has been the different coverage and attention given to Newton and Manning.
